My family really enjoys this refreshing salad. If strawberries aren’t available, you can substitute mandarin oranges and dried cranberries. —Irene Keller, Kalamazoo, Michigan

Keeping Lettuce FreshTo store lettuce to keep it crisp and fresh, wash lettuce in cold water and drain very well. Use a “salad spinner” or pat it dry with paper towels. Store in a resealable plastic bag or airtight container with a dry paper towel in the bottom to absorb any leftover moisture. (Be certain to replace the towel if it gets wet.) For extra-crispy salads, you may want to use a lettuce variety like romaine that’s naturally more crisp.

I made this salad for the Mother-Daughter Banquet that we held at my church. It was a HUGE success. The only thing I would recommend is immediately cleaning your skillet, because if you let it set, you cannot get the caramel out of it!

This salad tastes fabulous! It has a summer feel to it. I will change a few things: (1) I will put plain almonds in, no sugar coating and (2) make the dressing ahead of time. It tasted better the second day.Also, we had some grilled chicken in the refrigerator, so I chopped it up and threw it in the salad and it made a great meal!
